Romanian Indie

Romanian Indie is a genre of music that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s in Romania. It is a mix of alternative rock, post-punk, and electronic music, with influences from traditional Romanian folk music. The genre is characterized by its use of synthesizers, drum machines, and electronic effects, as well as its incorporation of traditional Romanian instruments such as the cimbalom and the taragot. It is often characterized by its dark, melancholic sound and its use of poetic lyrics. Romanian Indie is often associated with the Romanian New Wave, a movement of independent music and film that emerged in the late 1990s.
